I have my own registration system ...
Many authors want to retain their existing registration system. A good way to do this is to include a text file (or your own registration system) for paying you directly and configure the Register application to send payments to Kagi. Your address information might become stale over time but the Kagi addresses will remain valid for a very long time. Some authors outside the USA include a text file that lets folks in their own country pay them directly with checks in their country's currency, something Kagi is not currently able to do. So to answer the original question, include both and let the user choose.If you do not wish to include the Register program, you will need to modify your registration system to include all the features inherent in our registration program; bar code output in an image to an easily printable document, currency conversions, munging of credit card data, data checking all the payment data, conforming to the output format, etc. It will take a while to implement this stuff but it's essential that it be there if your registration system is to format the data correctly. Assume at least six months for design and testing.
If you are considering making your own register program please be aware that Kagi will add a 1.0% additional fee for the first year that your register program is used. After that, the normal rate will be charged with no discount for using your own register program. The amount of testing and support that is needed to bring a new register program online is quite a bit and it's a big time drain on fairly technical resources.
